my work flow usually goes like:
write down idea (+with dialogue) > rough draft/sketch > build layout > references > draw > ink > colour > extra fx.

ofc it's a whole process and changes occur now and then. but references should assist u throughout the process whenever u need it.

I think when making the comic page as long as you have your panels written down, like what you wanna show, what action is happening/dialogue etc. then you can find references relative to those, and then figure out how to make them flow together so it doesn't look too abrupt or awkwardly clunky?

never stop using references!!!! 😊 I use Pinterest/Tumblr + other art blogs- e.g. if I'm making creature art I'll look at human/animal anatomy refs. lighting/portrait too. also as a starting base don't be afraid to draw over a photo if u need. the more u practice using refs the better it'll be for u🫡

dude that's awesome, thank you for the recommendation!!! The grease pencil is a Godsend!!✨✨✨
